Beta-endorphin infusion during exercise in rats does not alter hepatic or muscle glycogen
(2001)The aim of this study was to determine whether beta -endorphin infusion influences liver or muscle glycogen concentration during exercise. Thirty-two rats (Harlan Co., IN, USA) with a body mass of 265-290 g were assigned ... -
Cobalt induces hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha expression in airway smooth muscle cells by a reactive oxygen species- and PI3K-dependent mechanism
(2004)Cobalt can mimic hypoxia and has been implicated as a cause of lung defects. However, the effect of cobalt on airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells has not been analyzed in detail. In this article, we use primary cultures of ... -
Effect of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist treatment on growth hormone secretion in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome
(1998)The suppression of the pituitary-gonadal axis by the administration of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRH-a) is used occasionally as an adjunct therapy with gonadotrophins for ovulation induction in women with ... -
Effects of leptin on the expression of fatty acid-binding proteins in human placental cell cultures
(2012)The present study aimed to evaluate the protein expression of the transmembrane translocase FAT/CD36 and cytoplasmic H-FABP and L-FABP in human trophoblast tissue and evaluate the effects of exogenous leptin upon differential ... -
Glucose measurement using portable blood glucose meters in dogs and cats
(2014)Portable blood glucose meters (PBGMs) are small electronic devices that measure the concentration of glucose in whole blood. Due to the technological advances, measurement of glucose concentration is carried out in a small ... -
Growth hormone response to thyrotrophin releasing hormone in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome
(1999)Recent clinical studies have suggested that women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) may have disturbances of growth hormone (GH) kinetics and the GH/insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I system. The knowledge that in ... -
IGF-1 alters the human parietal pleural electrochemical profile by inhibiting ion trans-cellular transportation after interaction with its receptor
(2013)Objective: The effect of IGF-1 in the human pleural permeability and the underlying mechanisms involved were investigated. Design: Specimens from thoracic surgical patients were mounted in Ussing chambers. Solutions ... -
Impact of the metabolic syndrome and its components combinations on arterial stiffness in Type 2 diabetic men
(2009)Aim. Arterial stiffness (AS) is a risk marker of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease, yet its association with metabolic syndrome (MS) in diabetic patients is not established. The aim of this study was to investigate ... -
Increased visfatin in hemodialysis patients is associated with decreased demands for recombinant human erythropoietin
(2013)Background: Studies detected an association between visfatin and markers of iron metabolism in patients with insulin resistance. In this study, such a relation was evaluated in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Also relations ... -
Inhibin secretion in women with the polycystic ovary syndrome before and after treatment with progesterone
(2011)Objectives: It has been suggested that inhibin secretion is altered in women with the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, the contribution of a preceding luteal phase has not been taken into account. The aim of the ... -
Leptin concentrations in the follicular phase of spontaneous cycles and cycles superovulated with follicle stimulating hormone
(1998)It has been reported that oestradiol may play a role in the production of leptin from adipocytes, To investigate this relationship further, nine normally ovulating women were studied during two menstrual cycles, i.e. an ... -
Leptin levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome before and after treatment with diazoxide
(1998)Leptin, a product of the ob gene, is a 16 kDa protein which is produced by adipocytes. In humans, obesity is a common finding in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The role, however, of leptin in PCOS is not clear ... -
Modulating effect of leptin on basal and follicle stimulating hormone stimulated steroidogenesis in cultured human lutein granulosa cells
(2009)Background: In vitro data have shown conflicting results in terms of the effect of leptin on granulosa cells steroidogenesis. Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of low and high doses of leptin ... -
Non-contact Current Transfer Induces the Formation and Improves the X-ray Diffraction Quality of Protein Crystals
(2014)The effect of non-contact current transfer on the crystallization of three model proteins (hen egg white lysozyme, bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A, and human recombinant insulin) was investigated using a prototype ...
